My little boy has just been diagnosed with an inguinal hernia. he has been referred to king's for urgent surgery and unfortunately he will be put under a general :(. Has anyone had any experience of inguinal hernias in small children? any insights would be v helpful.


Thx

My son had one, he had an operation under general anaesthetic at 3 and a half months old. It was all completely fine. I will write more later when I get a chance (hopefully tonight), but just wanted to let you know that it is very straightforward and really nothing to worry about (easy to say I know, and it didn't stop me crying!) Feel free to PM me in the meantime

my eldest had a different medical problem but had six generals under the age of two. generals are worrying and anything happening with your child is very frightening, but each time they brought my daughter back to me she woke up smiling and hungry and ready to play and i realised i had to take a leaf out of her book and not worry about something i couldn't do anything about and that was necessary. children can take amazing things in their stride especially if they see that you are okay. But

as marscapone says it still doesn't stop you crying - nor should it - but don't worry too much - it will all be behind you both very soon. wishing you all the best.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
